A connection method is disclosed for a high-performance semiconductor
system. The connection method enables high-speed operation with low
noise, so as to obtain reliable and excellent connection in a short TAT
at low costs. Semiconductor chips and the interposer chips are polished
by grinding at their rear surfaces, holes are formed at rear surface
positions corresponding to external electrode parts on the device side
(front surface side) so that the holes extend to front surface
electrodes, and metal plating films are applied to the side walls of the
holes and rear surface side. Metal bumps of another semiconductor chip
laminated at an upper stage being press-fitted into the holes applied
with the metal plating films through deformation and being geometrically
calked in the through holes formed in the semiconductor chip so as to
electrically connected thereto.
